Inlineskates.com is thrilled to carry a great supply of skates in all sizes, styles and colors all at the lowest prices online. Here we will go over some of the basics concerning the main types of womens specific skates.

Fitness and Recreational Womens Skates

The most common types of skates for women are recreational and fitness inline skates. These skates can have many uses from training, exercise and of course leisure. The main difference between recreational and fitness style skates will be that the fitness style skates will offer a bit larger wheels and a more performance fit. Both fitness and recreational inline skates for women can be used for either activity meaning a recreational skate can be used for fitness or a fitness skate can be used for recreation. Fitness and recreational womens skates are going to offer a fit similar to standard athletic shoe size so if you wear a size 7 in your running shoes a size 7 in skates will more than likely be a correct fit.

Urban Womens Skates

Urban skates have been gaining much popularity in the recent years as skating in cities for pleasure and transportation is making a comeback. Lacing up in Chicago or downtown Denver will require skates with great control and an ability to turn on a dime. Urban style womens skates are going to offer a shorter wheelbase and a bit smaller wheels making them much easier to maneuver and turn with. The urban style skates also offer a more protective exterior for the abuse they might see in an urban city setting.

Womens Roller Skates

It used to be that women and roller skates would conger up images of someone bringing you your order at a diner but things are changing. Now, more women are joining roller derby leagues and battling it out with their skates on. No matter what type of roller skating you plan on doing you can find the womens skates you need here.
